Azura What the fuck. Ryker will be expelled from the Academy if Nicholas tells this to the management. The Academy is strict with the rules, whoever breaks the rules doesn’t get a second chance. I can’t be selfish enough to hide behind him and get him expelled because of me. He deserves to become the Alpha King though I don’t like him. He is the best Alpha for his pack and treats his pack members so well that they have grown so much since he has taken over the pack. Ryker will not sacrifice his chance of becoming the Alpha King for me and I can’t expect that from him so I move to step out from behind him and end this game. “Wait,” Ryker speaks when Nicholas turns to leave. “Stay there,” he whispers in a barely audible voice to me and pushes me behind him again. “Hmm… I’m interested to hear whatever you have to say,” Nicholas tilts his head, smirking devilishly. I peek from the gap between Ryker’s arm and the side of his waist, gripping the fabric of his shirt in my fists
RykerI can't help but feel weird about all this going on. Why was she hiding from her husband whom she loved more than anything in the world? Nevertheless, it makes me happy and worried at the same time. What did that bastard do to turn things the other way around? I have a feeling that Azura’s feelings are not the same anymore. Azura loved that bastard so much. The whole Academy knew that but Nicholas didn’t even bother to glance at her until he saw her with me. The only reason she dated me was to get the attention of my half-brother who changed girlfriends like clothes. Despite me trying to explain to her how he was and she was bound to get hurt by that asshole, she didn’t pay any heed to my warnings. She was blindly in love with him but the she-wolf standing in front of me isn’t a teen girl anymore. Azura has turned into the most beautiful woman and her actions are forcing me to wonder what happened between them that she isn’t even ready to disclose her true identity to him. Wh
Azura“What?” I look at him with my jaw dropped to the floor. “For real?” I scoff, shaking my head in disbelief. He showed his faith in me when no one else did. Even he could figure out that I couldn’t kill my father but my mate refused to believe me. It hurts me more to admit that my mate doesn’t trust me when the man whom I fake-dated for a few months trusts me. Ryker steps toward me and sits beside me on the bed with a frown etched on his face. “Do I have to repeat myself?” Of course, the big bad Alpha hated repeating himself. “I can’t believe that you’re offering to help me find the true culprit behind my father’s murder,” I tell him, narrowing my eyes at him suspiciously. He rolls his beautiful amber-brown eyes and looks at me with a perplexed look on his face. “Why is it that hard to believe?” I sneer and shrug casually, stealing a glance at him. “Can you blame me for your cold-hearted Alpha reputation?” He waves his hand off and frowns. “I’m still cold-hearted but I thin
RykerShe gets ready in fifteen minutes and gets out of the bathroom after wearing her wig and lenses. I stifle a chuckle, she looks cute in a male’s attire. “Let’s go, Alpha Elias,” I sneer and open the door for her.“Thank you, Alpha Ryker,” she replies in her thick and deep voice, sounding absolutely funny. I heap my plate with apple cider cheesecake cookies, porridge, and scrambled eggs for protein. My eyes wander to the stall of bagels with smoked salmon, cream cheese, sliced tomatoes, and onions, my lips curl up in a smirk when I find Azura filling her plate with three bagels. It’s her favorite food, she used to do the same when we were studying in this Academy. She even prefers bagels for a hangover, she’s crazy for food. Assholes around her stare at her with a mocking glare because she is petite and slim to eat this much but they will be surprised when she will eat more after finishing her bagels.Azura walks to me after grabbing two bottles of juice and smiles at me. Food m
Azura“I didn’t take you for a fool but being married to a moron must have taken a toll on you,” Ryker spits, not even bothering to hide his smug smile. “You should have researched about the training and the competition before coming here,” he remarks before I can retort to his taunts. My nostrils flare as I restrain myself from saying something. His rude words are hurting me but he can’t see that. Of course, I didn’t know the real face of my mate and I accepted that I was so stupid for falling for him but he didn’t have to rub it in my face all the time. “It wasn’t my plan to come here. I didn’t get a chance to do anything of that sort because it’s only for men so women know nothing about this. I didn’t imagine myself disguising as my cousin and entering the Academy to ask for help from the Alpha King to catch the murderer of my father so I wasn’t prepared for this,” I snap at him, not holding myself back. Ryker looks at me with a perplexed expression etched on his face, his thick
Ryker“Sounds fair to me,” Azura shrugs and flashes a smile at him. I sigh in relief when she agrees, I don’t want Nicholas to doubt her which he will if she disagrees but surprisingly, her game skills are up. “I’m glad to have you on my side. Make sure that you stay loyal to me or the consequences won’t be good for you,” Nicholas threatens her, his voice turning casual to firm. I’m hiding behind a tree and overhear their conversation. I can’t help but stifle a chuckle at his stupid tactics. Nicholas won’t leave me alone, he wants to play dirty and get me out of the Academy so his path will be clear. I have followed her when she walked out on me in anger which was justifiable because I was being a dick to her. I should have been kind and empathetic to her but I had to hide my emotions because I couldn’t show her that side of me. It’s better that she calls me heartless… I don’t want her to expect anything from me and then, be disappointed in me when she sees the monster in me. It h
AzuraAfter a little workout, they dismiss us but I feel uneasy as two of the officers stare at me skeptically. My heart races when Professor Alex walks toward me with a furious expression imprinted on his face. I turn to leave but he calls out my name, “Elias, wait.” “What does Alex want from you?” Dane mutters, looking at me in worry. We just met on the field and he has been nice to me. He is the Alpha of a neighbor pack of Ryker so I have presumed that he needs a favor from him and since I’m his roommate, he is trying to get close to me to have a chance to talk to Ryker because none of the Alphas would dare to talk to him directly. Everyone knows how cold-hearted and ruthless he is…“I don’t know either.” I try to stay calm as the professor approaches me. “May I have a word with you alone, Alpha Elias?” He asks, making me nervous. Has he found out that I’m Azura, not Elias? My eyes wander to find Ryker but he is nowhere to be seen and that’s when I realize that half of the Alph
Ryker“Are you looking for Elias?” A man asks me as I look around the field where I had last seen Azura. “Hmm,” I nod my head and he flashes me a smile, making me frown. “I’m Dane-” he starts introducing himself but I raise my hand to insinuate for him to shut his fucking mouth as I’m not interested in making any acquaintance with him or anyone else here. Dane swallows hard under my hard gaze which makes me feel like he knows something which isn’t pleasing to me. Has Nicholas again pulled some dirty tricks? I swear, if this time, he doesn’t leave us alone, I’ll make him regret even coming here. “If you know where A…” I bite my tongue, almost taking her real name. I clear my throat before continuing, “Just let me know where he is,” I finish and heave an exasperated sigh. “Yes, sure. Professor Alex wanted to have a word with him alone so they went in that direction,” he says and points to the direction where I head without thanking him. I have a feeling that I should stay away from
